Greetings and a warm welcome to you all.
The mission of The Nekkid Watchmaker is to strip away all the BS and snobbery in watchmaking and to encourage a new generation of watchmakers in to this wonderful art. In essence we are all Nekkid watchmakers.
My name is Joe and I'm a watchmaker specialising in service and restorations. I am a bit late to the youtube party but I thought I would start this channel for any watch lovers out there looking for some help, advice or just a discussion about watches. I have many years at the bench and also handle many watches each day, so I thought it would be a good idea to talk about some of the watches that pass through my hands. I will be doing reviews and tutorials on the subject.

I had a big smile watching your dance moves in the reflection Watch guru Ji :)))
You were obviously a saint or a monk in a previous life, to have the patience you do :)

Gladdens my heart to see this.
Nice, Well said!
fantastic job sir 💯👊🏻⌚️❤️
Immer wieder sehr schön diese perfekte Uhrmacher Kunst beobachten zu können, exzellente Instandsetzung der gezeigten Uhr. Des weiteres ist es absolut super dass Vater und Sohn gemeinsam an der Arbeit waren. Ihr Sohn wird mit Sicherheit ebenfalls ein exzellenter Uhrmacher werden.

Years later still addicted to your videos :)
It's pedestrian, but it runs. A Swiss Timex.
Another great video Joe. Just finished a pin escapement myself. Wow, these things are cheap. Look the part though.
My cat is intrigued by your videos!
I love the wish list comments and like you, I live in hope for humanity. God bless you x
You did an amazing job in this restoration. Truly impressive, 🫡 🍻
Just beautiful ! Well done. You’ve got me wanting to start nickel plating now 😂
Great to watch but wish to own old watch. Do u sell any.
I stumbled upon your channel and I must say you keep me wanting to watch more of your videos. Your comments are the best part of the video. You've gained a new subscriber.
It's so enjoyable seeing a son taking an interest in his father's profession. At 10 years old if he continues to enjoy it, he will be a master at a very young age. 👍
You Sir have an incredible amount of passion and commitment.
Truly a master at your craft and have become quite the cinematographer! Thank you for your videos, they are truly a pleasure to "watch" !
Those who support Palestine is akin to those who support Nazi Germany. There is no excuse for their way of treating people.
The moon landing was filmed on location......at the Sea of Tranquillity.
A quick question. Is it possible to repair the fixed strap links on a solid gold 1920's Omega Trench Watch ? It is the cushion shaped watch and one of the strap links which are a permanent part of the case has snapped away from the case edge. The case looks rather thin so I imagine that gold soldering would be difficult.
Back in the 1920's, I think I recall that people started apprenticeships at 14. Seems crazy to us now. Apparently, in Victorian times, most kids worked in cotton mills, chimney sweeps, etc as young as 10 years of age. How times change, it would terrify me now if we were expected to send our young kids out to work. Beautiful to see your little 'uns keeping Daddy company as you repair these beautiful timepieces.
😂🤣🤣
As an everyday grocery getter I think it’s great. I know it’s just preference but that bezel dates the watch to the 90s. I would have considered modding the bezel. Maybe deleting the raise indices. As always great work
Well done!
I googled it and it means cast iron. So it's plated cast iron .
Even the poverty package needs some love.
Ugly watches need love as well!

This turned out very nicely! I wonder now, the complaint you made at the beginning about the watchband, could that be the reason there was such terrible wear on the back of the case? It should have had the type of band you put on it to keep it from touching skin?
Another lovely video Joe, well done and looking forward to the next one.
Tinkerer.I think you mean Butcher 😁
Amazing. Great job and video. Thank you.
Nekkid father: youtube -> watch?v=s4fqJuuH-Qg 😁
This is wonderful! Good for you and your son. You must be proud of him.
Joe - your videos are always instructive, entertaining and most of all full of humanity. which is in short supply these days. There are many so called watchmakers on the internet who are nothing of the sort, unlike you. They've just invested in very expensive equipment (mandated by manufacturers ?) and been on the right training courses so they get the "approved" stamp from the likes of Omega and Rolex to service their watches and so are able to get spares. They would never be able to resurrect anything like this. It's their business model I guess, so no criticism on that account, and I'm sure there was no value in this one from the point of view of the the watch itself unless it had family emotional connection for someone. I guess your youtube channel is a big plus for you, but you put a lot of time an effort into everything you publish - this watch is worth next to nothing - but your followers will appreciate it. I'm only a few milea away from you, and It's good to know that the JQ still has individuals and companies like you that still demonstrate and support real skills.
I love the commentary!
ahhhh nice one joe
We do not inherit this World from our Fathers, we borrow it from our Children. Peace, Love and Respect cost Nothing. 🙏
I think your son is good trouble.
Lovely!
"Jewelled" almost always means one jewel
LOL excellent review.. Really they picked the right person for this.👌✌️
Lovely timepiece! Your son HAS taste.
Pin lever watch movement. Brac movement?
Nice job Joe! I did a restoration one one of these a few months ago, brand was Misalla, no calendar though. Same base movement exactly! I had all your problems plus a bent main plate horse shoe shaped pin pallet (fork) none jewel hole, and a bent pin pallet pivot (obviously)! I oiled the main so prong barrel as you did, thanks for the strip down and assembly of it! I like different movements, but not a big fan of low jewel count and pin pallets. Saying that, I’ve got it running well and still have it, it looks cool even if not technically excellent 😁looking forwforward to more different watches, movements, problems and especially fixes! Ta.
If your voice needs a rest, let it rest. Hope you're okay and I'm another person that misses your voice and of course your kids voices in the background.
This was the first watch video I’ve seen from your channel about 3 years ago or so
